Water Well Trust Highlights Safe Drinking Water Crisis
$64.5 Billion Shortfall in Drinking Water Infrastructure Funding
In an emotional testimony before a Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Fisheries, Water and Wildlife hearing, Mike Frazee shared what it is like to live in America with no access to safe drinking water. The resident of rural northwest Arkansas highlighted the significance of the Water Systems Council in helping change that.
Frazee’s family lacked access to safe drinking water for decades before they were provided with a low interest loan through the Water Systems Council's Water Well Trust to drill a water well in 2014. He recently testified during the subcommittee's hearing on "Innovative Financing and Funding: Addressing America's Crumbling Water Infrastructure."
